The vast majority of quality conservative candidates will never be willing to run for office - corruption, craving power, and suffering fools is not in a conservatives nature. Thus we have very few options.

Cruz had influence with the more conservative wing on the House which drove Boehner bonkers:JBenn06 said:

...and Cruz's response:Quote:
Under the new rules of Crazytown, I may have been Speaker, but I didn't hold all the power. By 2013 the chaos caucus in the House had built up their own power base thanks to fawning right-wing media and outrage-driven fundraising cash. And now they had a new head lunatic leading the way, who wasn't even a House member. There is nothing more dangerous than a reckless ******* who thinks he is smarter than everyone else. Ladies and gentlemen, meet Senator Ted Cruz. He enlisted the crazy caucus of the GOP in what was a truly dumbass idea. Not that anybody asked me.
Quote:
Cruz reacted with astonishment.
"Amazing. In my whole life, I haven't spoke 50 words to John Boehner. But his lead book blurb is his latest insult directed at me," the senator tweeted. "I guess he thinks that will help him sell books? I'm certainly not sad that House Members threw him out for being the embodiment of the Swamp!"

Boehner and Romney should have a love child and name him John McCain IV.
The old adage is that your enemies can small weakness. The Democrats during the late Bush and Obama Administrations certainly did that and shredded Boehner. If I learned anything from that period is that the current Democrats are non-negotiable.
People are dumb. Most don't want to do any research below the surface to find out who they're really voting for. Boner and McCain and Ryan and Romney are all pretty similar creatures, and Texas politics is full of the same kind of cancers.Oak Tree said:Burdizzo said:

Boehner wasn't weak or an enemy of Democrats. He is a progressive Democrat who was elected Republican by conservative voters. It takes confidence to lie to his voters that many years...confident that his constituents would never hold him accountable.

Well, at one point time Perry WAS a Democrat. I believe he was the Texas chair of Gore's '88 presidential campaign.titan said:
Perry and Abbott are absolutely not Progressive Democrats. If any kind of Democrat at all, it would be the pre end of 20th C kind of Texas Democrat before that label automatically meant cultural traitor.
